Question

Solve, using the square root method: 5x2 = 60. Round the solution to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

This is what I get
5x^2 = 60
(divide 5 to both sides)
x^2 = 12 (square root both)
x = sq + - 12
Then i get a decimal. 3.46410....

Answer 2

what would be the answer?

Answer 3

Well, you're rounding to the nearest 10th, so your answers would be\[x=\pm3.5\]Since .46 would round to .5
